The Green Advantage Commercial Training Program® presents sustainable construction in a holistic way – exposing contractors, trades-people, engineers, and architects to a progressive system that builds upon their knowledge base of construction. Information is presented in a logical order as one would build a building – and it is complementary to the LEED® system. Trainees receive an essential “understanding” and a level of familiarity with LEED®, its credit intents, requirements, costs and benefits by presenting it as an integral part of the construction process. It is important to note that LEED® was initially developed for the design community and therefore does not intuitively connect with the construction audience. Presenting LEED® as a “vehicle” to achieve a green building has proven to be one of the most successful aspects of this training program. The final product is designed to prepare trainees for the Green Advantage Certification Exam.
